How to Make Peach Cobbler

Peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream

A little slice of heaven in every bite.

There’s nothing quite like a warm, homemade Peach Cobbler fresh out of the oven — bubbling peaches coated in brown sugar and cinnamon, crowned with a golden, buttery biscuit topping. This comforting dessert instantly transports you back to those cozy evenings at Grandma’s house when the smell of baked peaches filled the kitchen and every spoonful tasted like love.

This Southern-style peach cobbler is the perfect balance of sweetness and warmth. The tender peach filling combines canned peaches, brown sugar, and a touch of vanilla and nutmeg for a rich, old-fashioned flavor that’s both nostalgic and comforting. The biscuit topping adds the perfect contrast — soft on the inside with a delicate crunch on top, thanks to a sprinkle of sugar before baking. Every bite melts together beautifully, especially when paired with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients
    For the Peach Filling
  • 2 cans of peaches (in syrup or juice, drained slightly)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • Pinch of salt
  • Juice of ½ lemon
    • For the Topping
  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 stick unsalted butter (frozen and cubed)
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. 1
    Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. 2
    Prepare Peach Filling:
  3. 3
    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine peaches, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, salt, and lemon juice. Stir and cook until the mixture thickens slightly and the peaches are coated in a glossy syrup. Pour into a greased baking dish.
  4. 4
    Make the Biscuit Topping:
  5. 5
    In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add in the cubed butter and crumble it with your fingers or a pastry cutter until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
  6. 6
    Combine Wet Ingredients:
  7. 7
    Mix buttermilk with vanilla extract, then pour into the dry mixture. Stir gently until combined — the dough will be thick and slightly sticky.
  8. 8
    Assemble the Cobbler:
  9. 9
    Scoop the dough over the peach filling, spreading gently to cover most of the surface. Sprinkle a little extra sugar on top for a sweet crunch.
  10. 10
    Bake:
  11. 11
    Bake at 350°F for 30–35 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the peach filling is bubbling around the edges.
  12. 12
    Serve:
  13. 13
    Let it cool for 10 minutes, then serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
